16 of the best supper clubs in London you have to try at least once

Looking for a unique dining experience in the nation's capital? Look no further than one of London's supper clubs, which combine great food with fun themes, conviviality and homely vibes to great effect.

What actually is a supper club, we hear you ask? Well, it's a good question - where does a supper club become a restaurant, or stop being a pop-up? Supper clubs tend to be regularly occurring, event-based dinners, gathering together like-minded foodies for one or two nights of excellent grub. Usually the formalities are low, and the focus is really on good food and a good time. Many supper clubs are hosted by people in their own houses, so it feels as though you're visiting them for dinner along with a group of dinner guests.

Sometimes there are themes, or live music, or comedy. A supper club really can be anything, with many taking the form of pop-up concepts and even underground restaurants. Typically there is no choice when it comes to the menu, and the whole thing has a more relaxed, communal feeling when compared to a restaurant. If you enjoy chatting to new people while out and about then plump for one with long sharing tables that encourage family-style dining, or if you prefer to stick to your own team when eating out go for a smaller affair that has more intimately-sized tables. 

As restaurants have become more expensive, supper clubs have started to fill the gap for those looking for a way to go out and enjoy an evening of good food with new people without leaving themselves too out of pocket. The temporary nature of these spots make it a popular way for aspiring chefs or restaurant-owners to try out their offering before committing to the rent of a plum postcode, a sort of test-run before the main event. As such, you usually can get some pretty amazing food for a fraction of its normal price.  

If sociable supper club dining sounds like your kind of vibe, go ahead and check out our selection of the best supper clubs in London. Or, discover even more supper club events to book right now.
